About “The Morning Fog”

“The Morning Fog” is the twelfth track on Kate Bush’s album Hounds of Love, and the seventh track of “The Ninth Wave”, a mini-concept album about a woman drowning in the aftermath of a shipwreck.

This song concludes “The Ninth Wave”, as the woman survives her near-death experience and returns to consciousness. Having come so close to death, she promises to appreciate life more fully, as well as those who participate in hers.

Kate Bush has stated that the character from “The Ninth Wave” does not die, but many fans have argued that she does. To them, this song is about reincarnation/rebirth, and the lessons retained from the previous life.
